Day two of fasting. I have done a 42+ hour fast every week for the past four weeks. I do intermittent fasting on the other 5 days. I am really enjoying the benefits of fasting now that I figured out my gut issues. My weight loss is steady. I eat well on my five feasting days and stay on track with my macros. I am restoring my metabolism after damaging it with caloric restrictions for the past few years.
I never thought I could fast. Go without a meal? You have got to be kidding! I am so happy that I am getting it mastered. My journey has been gradual (first, I did intermittent fasting and now I am building toward more and more hours). The benefits have been so awesome, I can't believe how much better my knee feels. I had been taking ibuprofen every day; but in the past three weeks, no ibuprofen whatsoever! Amazing. I still walk and work out every day, so it the change isn't from resting the knee. I even ran a bit last Saturday (something I could never do) with no pain or issues.
